Wii U Is, Reportedly, in Development Hell

meh, i'm not excited much at all

 

My personal opinion is Nintendo started going downhill a while ago. I expected this to happen.

 

they should have taken things slowly, than this might not have happened

 

I honestly hope they scrap the Wii U. The fact that it is associated with the Wii will turn off a lot of gamers, because we all know the Wii was pretty lackluster in 'core' games. They should just make a whole new console and end the Wii's chapter.

 

I still won't get it. It seems like such a huge waste of time and money for Nintendo trying to keep up with everyone. I mean, the 3DS was and is fine, but apparently they felt the need to make another console just so poor innocent souls can rake more money into Nintendo's gaping maw.

 

It might be the fact that the 3DS is a handheld while the Wii U is a console.

 

I guess, but I still think Wii U isn't really necessary.

 

It's as unnecessary as a fourth Playstation or an Xbox...180 or whatever's next.

 

Correction, I heard something about an XBox 720.

But I couldn't get you a source on it.

 

I wish they'd just take their time fatten the budget a little bit, if that's all that's holding back the technology. Much as I don't like the arms race game development has become, developers being unable to work with the software due to constant updates and patches is a real and serious issue. This fear of taking risks is in direct opposition to the "spirit of the movement" that made Nintendo the giant it is/was, it's what's tenderizing the gaming market as a whole, and if it's what sinks Nintendo's console battleship, I'm going to be more than a little depressed.

...Granted, if that happens, maybe Sega will think about jumping back in the ring :L
